[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was born at 2 lb, 2 oz - small enough to be considered a micro preemie. Her first apgar was a 1, and she had a small hole in her heart and developed a small brain bleed. The doctors were not sure that she would live, and said that she would likely have severe disabilities if she did survive. The first uncertain weeks of her life were easily the darkest days of my life. She's 10 now. She was just elected to student council, gets great grades in school, does martial arts and plays on a soccer team. She's still physically small and has a few small residual issues, but her mighty personality and zest for life more than make up for any challenges. I could not ask for a more wonderful child, and I am so very grateful to the doctors who went to battle for her. [/quote]
